TB 1/16/15

Drove up to check on my camp and fish a little. Zero on Thursday. 3 hrs chicken coop. 7 Friday, 4 crappie/3 catfish. 5 hrs chicken coop. One crappie to small, went back swimming. Biggest 1lb 5 oz, 13.5 inches. All on shiners 38 ft deep. Had 5 boats and cold thur. Had about 25 boats and still cold fri. Talked to several, some had more, some less. All agreed this string of good weather will help. Could not believe how murky the water is on the La. side. Looks like mud in places. May go back Monday for a few more days, while the weather is good. By the way, shadow I caught them all. Highlight of the trip was visiting with and eating supper with Skip and Martha. Fine people right there!! Sorry I missed you Alex. Also, broke a $160 rod and ripped the side on my big tackle box. Fortunately I am blessed to have replacements at home.

Ain't nothing wrong with that right there. I am going to try some places tomorrow afternoon. Hope the couple extra days has them getting hungry. :)

Just curious, what brand of crappie rod costs $160.00? Maybe the crappie are waiting for the Gathering!!!!!!! It might be all of the fresh water. Better luck next week.

Phew... Can't afford to break many of those. Thanks for the report Danny... :)

But I thought they lived in fresh water!!!:dono:Rofl Just messing with you Pastor!

Danny, nothing wrong with that catch there and glad YOU caught them all, where you fishing by yourself?! :Rofl

It was a bass fishing rod I was taking out the boat. Yes , I skunked my partner. Does not happen often. He usually catches the most.

Nice catch Danny, that would work for me just fine. I figured it was one of your bass rods that broke. Thanks for posting.

Danny no wonder you don't catch many crappie, you use a bass rod. lol

THAT'S FUNNY. Still hurt my feelings.(the rod, not you Gene) Like breaking a friend in two.

Good report Danny. Sorry about your green carp rod..........

Me and a friend fished the chicken coop Saturday kept about 13 fished Sunday morning and kept another 9 or 10. All on shiners on the bottom of 30'-35' water. Some had more and some had less!! Seems to be still scattered sand water temp was 46 degrees. Had probably 60 boats out Saturday and maybe 20-30 Sunday morning.

Thanks for the report Grab Da Net. I was gonna go back, but I'm taking care of my favorite person. She has a cold.
